ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - The Fulton County district attorney who filed a series of historic indictments last year against former President Donald Trump easily defeated a challenge from within her own Democratic party on Tuesday.

Fani Willis defeated Christian Wise Smith in Georgia’s general primary, setting up a Nov. 5, 2024, race against Republican Courtney Kramer. Willis was declared the night’s first winner by the Associated Press, which called the race shortly after 7:30 p.m.

1. Here is the AP call

Fani Willis and judge presiding over Trump election defeat challengers in election

ATLANTA (AP) — Two key players in the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump have defeated challengers in Tuesday’s election.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee both won. Willis is the prosecutor who last year obtained a sprawling racketeering indictment against Trump and 18 others, and McAfee is the judge who was randomly assigned to preside over the case.

Willis beat progressive attorney Christian Wise Smith in the Democratic primary and is now set to face off against Republican Courtney Kramer in the fall. McAfee won a nonpartisan contest, which means he will serve a full four-year term beginning in January.

The intense public interest in the election case has thrust both Willis and McAfee into the national spotlight, giving them greater name recognition than occupants of their offices might otherwise have.

8. Now the bullshit ends and

the ass kickin' begins

2. I don't think elections or the law matter anymore in red states.

I wish my prediction that none of the trials would go forward before the election was incorrect and it is technically one trial did go forward.

Very grim future folks. I just hope she has lots of protection, the GOP wants her dead.

4. Did you catch Rachel Maddow's show last night? If not, hope you can.

The whole hour is not to be missed. It is one for the history books. Here are short bits.

11. It was

a classic.

5. She's been on 24-hour full security since one year into her tenure as DA. And has had to leave

her home. I gathered from Rachel's interview with her that she gets church moral support.

Also, Judge Scott McAfee won his full four year term.

12. And that was expected DESPITE the fucking M$M "narrative"

that she was "fighting for her job".

So sick of their shit.

7. Well I guess Fulton County voters must appreciate

the fact that she had the guts to bring charges against the most powerful white men in the world.

The Democratic voters, anyway.
